      1. @jbouie piece gets closer to the causes of Trumpism than anything else I've seen but it could be augemented:http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/cover_story/2016/03/how_donald_trump_happened_racism_against_barack_obama.single.html …

      2. @jbouie gives a great sociological overview of why Trumpism would flourish under a black president but more needs to be said about GOP

      3. Trumpism didn't just need racist backlash (exploited by others like Wallace earlier) but also a weak GOP vulnerable to takeover

      5. But an even richer account of what ails conservative movement & GOP is this @ToryAnarchist twitter essay: https://storify.com/JeetHeer1/daniel-mccarthy-on-the-conservative-crack-up …

      6. To rephrase @davidfrum & @ToryAnarchist in my own terms: conservative movement has been like the con men in The Producers.

      7. Like the con men in The Producers, the con men in conservativism promised far more than they could deliver & were destroyed by success

      8. To the evangelicals they promised overturning Roe v. Wade & return of 1950s values. To Tea Party they promised repeal of Obamacare.

      9. Kept promises caused as much damage as the promises denied: large parts of base alienated from neo-con foreign policy & tax cuts for rich

          10. Besides policy making cons there's just basic everyday conservatism that is a grift: Beck's shilling gold, Carson campaign.

          11. Disillusioned by con games of conservative movement, base was primed for the biggest con artist of them all: https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedAndrew/status/709143096118874113 …

          @HeerJeet this is all fine & good but ignores the ossification of democracy & democratic mechanisms in the last 50 years caused by SCOTUS
